"and you have to give an opinion on what should happen instead of your "nuffin to do with me guv" stance."

I wish I knew what should happen; what could practically be done about it. Cheap sneers about how I must want numbers tattooed on arms are merely provocative, not any sort of argument. But we are, I repeat, living over a volcano brought in by a Trojan Horse (you must admit a fine mixed metaphor, whatever else!). And what is to be done about this pit we have dug for ourselves, (third item for the mixture!) in practical terms, I simply do not know. The fact is that one can not start from anywhere except where one is. As usual, old Will has the best words:

O, Time, thou must unravel this, not I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie.
(Twelfth NightII.2.39-40)

I just wish to god I could think of something to be done about it.
